RA PM: RECOGNITION OF KOSOVO’S INDEPENDENCE TO GIVE ADDITIONAL
ARGUMENTS TO SUPPORTERS OF KARABAKH’S INDEPENDENCE

YEREVAN, 18.02.08. DE FACTO. The recognition of the Serbian province
of Kosovo will give additional arguments to the supporters of the
Nagorno-Karabakh’s independence, RA PM Serge Sargsian stated in an
interview with Reuters agency.
`’We gain a certain advantageous position… However, it does not mean
that if Kosovo declares independence and some European countries
recognize it Armenia will immediately recognize Karabakh’s
independence’, Sargsian stated.
On Sunday Kosovo’s Parliament voted for the adoption of the
declaration on the region’s independence.
109 MPs voted for the adoption of the declaration. The
representatives of Serbs, who have 10 seats at the Parliament, did
not participate in the ceremony, `Novosti-Armenia’ reports.
